The allegations came to local troopers from an out-of-county barracks on May 10, where the girl's grandma had gone after the girl disclosed the abuse to her.

According to court documents, Simmers sexually abused the girl at a Tomstown Road home. The girl said one time, while playing video games with Simmers, he began to kiss and touch her over her clothing.

Simmers is accused of undressing her and inappropriately touching her, then sexually assaulting her. Simmers only stopped because it was time for an adult to return to the house.

Simmers told the girl not to say anything and "forget it ever happened," according to court documents.

Troopers spoke with Simmers on May 26, at the Chambersburg barracks. He told police that it was hard to remember the incident, but admitted that it happened as the girl had disclosed. Simmers told police that he was curious.

Simmers was arraigned Friday by Magisterial District Judge Kelly Rock, and released on $15,000 unsecured bail.
